January 31, 2017

Kuwait’s Gulf Bank has cleaned up at the World Finance Awards 2016, winning both awards for its country in the categories of Best Digital Bank and Best Mobile Banking App. And the company is giving much of the credit to its embrace of biometric technology. Daon is extremely proud to be a part of this innovative solution to provide secure, convenient digital services for Gulf Bank’s customer base.

The system features liveness detection, with customers required to blink while authenticating via facial recognition – Gulf Bank calls it “Blinking to Bank.” It’s based on our IdentityX® Platform for mobile biometric authentication, which has seen a number of other high-profile deployments over the past few years.
